A Poem Is Not Enough To Live
A poem is not enough to live, to love,
We must savor many other small pleasures,
A banana split or a pear Belle Hélène,
An appointment with a barber in Izmir,
Poetry doesn’t heal from every misfortune
Sometimes you have to look at her where she’s not,
Cook a boeuf bourguignon, a sole meunière,
Invite a friend happier than you.
One must dream of eating pizza in Naples,
From a banana split we’re imagine for in Oregon,
You should know that a poem is only a mistake
Among all the true gifts life offers you.
